Hydrogen Bonding in Complex Environments

Membrane Biophysics

Computational Spectroscopy

We apply advanced vibrational models to interpret the IR signatures of non-covalent interactions in proteins and lipids.

Ultrafast Infrared Spectroscopy

We design experimental tools to probe structure and dynamics of proteins and lipids.

Protein Folding

We investigate the folding mechanisms, pathways, and kinetics of small proteins.

Welcome to the Baiz Group at UT-Austin

Our group investigates the structure, dynamics, and self-organization of proteins and lipids in biological membranes. Our work lies at the interface between Physical Chemistry and Molecular Biophysics. We develop and use a combination of tools based on infrared spectroscopy, spectroscopic models, and structure-based computer simulations.

Postdoctoral Positions Available

We are looking for talented and dedicated postdocs to join our group. If you are interested please get in touch with us (cbaiz@cm.utexas.edu).
